This is one of those staple pieces for a wardrobe: comfortable, cute, easy to wear. You'll even want one as an adult! Although there isn't an adult size for you, there are six dress sizes from preemie through age 3. Your newborn will wear this easily all summer long.
Summer Shift Dress by Abigail Haze, Ravelry
Lexi Tunisian Preemie Blanket
"The Lexi Tunisian preemie blanket uses a basic tunisian stitch. By changing colors in a different place than "normal" it carries the opposite color behind the working color. The blanket size is easily adjustable for anyone, not just a preemie. My very first design was the result of a good friend delivering her baby at 29 weeks and I still love designing things for preemies. Check with your local hospital's NICU department to see if they are accepting preemie blankets for their babies and what their specific regulations might be. "
Little Sprout Preemie Blanket
"Many hospitals will accept preemie blankets for keeping babies born prematurely. It will help keep them warm while adding a sense of comfort from something that is made with love. This preemie blanket pattern uses the same stitch combo that the Little Sprout bonding squares uses so you can make sets. Check with your local NICU department to see if they are accepting preemie blankets for their babies and what their specific regulations might be. "
Clustered V-st Crochet Preemie Blanket Pattern
Work this preemie baby blanket up in one or more colors. I chose to do two colors in an effort to clean up my yarn stash and it turned out great. I imagine this would also look great in three or more colors if you have a lots of odds and ends to clean up. The size given here is for a preemie blanket, but you can easily adjsut the size in the multiple provided. Choose any yarn and hook size and make this for any room in your home.
